The line up of cranes in Southampton Docks taken from the footplate of British Railways Standard 4-6-2 70013 Oliver Cromwell as we crossed the River Test en route from Swanage to Bristol. We were running tender-first from Swanage engine & coach to Southampton where we reversed to take the line to Salisbury. We were stabled overnight at Bristol before working The Devonian the next day.

The dockside cranes of the Royal Victoria Dock have become symbols of post-industrial London alongside the newly built Britannia village development. The skyscrapers of Canary Wharf form the backcloth to this view.

The Chemin de Fer de Provence metre gauge line from Nice to Digne-les-Bains has seen better days. In the station yard the hand operated crane, unused for years, is disappearing into the undergrowth.
